This is a very old movie, but it is really interesting. If you like the classic movie about gambling, then you should watch this movie. The film perfectly conveys exactly how the player thinks, how Canadian slot machines works, what feel the player when he lost or win. I recommend to watch this movie, despite the low quality.
